Our Cars (dream or actual)
-
Really going to have to watch my speed, it's one of those cars before you know it you're doing close to 100 MPH.
Didn't expect to walk away with it, was leaning towards Audi or BMW. But the way this one drives stole the show.
Plus it has a back row of seats (while the others didn't), so I can freak out even more people while driving it hard. -
Last weekend I ordered a new Defender 110, it should be one of the last ones ever made before they shut it all down in December, and it's due to arrive here in March 2016. It'll be my first brand new car, and I can't wait.
That Macan is a fantastic looking beast Broark, well done! I bet it drives as well as it looks too

I'm not gonna lie: I like that…
My girlfriend (now wife) hated it when I first bought it, because hey, it's a Subaru station wagon. (In the States, Subaru wagons carry a stigma of being popular with the geriatric community) Now, she wants to drive it whenever she doesn't have the kids.
It's also surprised a fair share of V8s and unsuspecting passengers.
BLOODY Hell…..
Thanks Giles!

After my Lamborghini track day last year…I haddtoo get something that would keep up... My buddy, VP of marketing at Lamborghini says it beats their stuff at certain tracks...can't wait to get it out on the track.

Totally kidding - that's a badass ride @Haddtoo 555!

@Engineer is that a fully rebuilt engine? stock would be a forester sti i presume? not sure what the model names are wherever you are though.
-
Dream car for sure… If I was handed the keys to any super car, exotic, sports, or muscle car out there the first thing I would do is put it up for sale so I could buy one of these. 32 Ford Highboy. I'd want Matte black and a hardtop though.

If it were Right hand drive it would be a Forester STI, but its LHD so it started a Forester XT. Cant tell if its built by the pics, but it def has a front mount intercooler. The heatsheild isnt on the downpipe anymore so safe to say that the DO has been changed out. Other then that, im eager to hear the mod list
-
@louisbosco @pillowPANTS It's an '08 Forester XT Sports, which shares the same engine as the 06/07 WRX.
In terms of modifications, almost every aspect of the car has been modified, except the engine internals and transmission. It's making ~340 whp (~450 bhp) @ 20 psi.
I can post the full list, if you're curious. -
this would be close to top of my list as a first choice
-
@pillowPANTS funny you say that as the RHD models in australia are considered XT trim. whereas as far as i know, singapore has the sti which is RHD.
@Engineer cheers for that video. would love to see a list of mods if possible. i hope it doesn't share the same glass tranny as the wrx though.. i reckon with rebuilt internals, you could see at least 650bhp/550awhp at about 26-30psi. curious about any turbo lag given the fmic?
-
@louisbosco Really eh? Didnt know that. The 05 and up trannys were much better then the 02-03 but they still arent real strong thats for sure
@engineer i put an RA gear set in my 03 WRX and it was a night and day difference. Totally changed the car. Not the best on gas for a long highway trip anymore, but acceleration is awesome. My stock 03 WRX could keep up with my friends 04 STI till 4th gear after my tranny change. Before that he was up on my 3-5 cars when i hit 2nd.
Nice Forester man[emoji106] -
